JUNE 2019 MACWORLD 87When I wanted to type
something, I paired a Magic
Keyboard 2 with it and typed
away. It’s how I wrote this
review. Which brings me to one
of the only real drawbacks I can
think of: When I try to use the
onscreen digital keyboard, I find
the display keyboard too
cramped for long writing ses-
sions even in landscape mode.
That was true with the older
iPad mini as well.
This isn’t as dire as it probably looks. You’re not likely to
be using the iPad mini for demanding apps as with the
larger iPads.0 100 200 300 400 500iPad Air (2019)

many things, but one
thing it doesn’t do is
take up a lot of space.JUNE 2019 MACWORLD 87
